How could wearing a Nada support re-train
my back muscles?

Try this for yourself! Put your Nada support on and adjust it correctly. It immediately feels comfortable and stops you slouching. However, after a period of time (the amount of time varies from person to person) your knees and your back will become a little irritated by the pressure from wearing the belt. To reduce this irritation, you will sit up a little straighter to reduce the pressure on the belt. The moment that happens, you are using your own back muscles to sit "perfectly". Again, after a period of time, your back muscles will get tired, and you will relax back "into" the Nada (because you are wearing the Nada, you cannot collapse into your previously bad slouching position, so you are never going to put the strain on the discs and ligaments that you used to). Again, after a period of time, your back and knees will get a bit irritated, so then you will sit up a little straighter etc etc.

The beauty of this system is that you alternate between sitting with good posture, helped by the Nada, and sitting perfectly using your own muscles. Your "sitting" muscles will start to improve, as you are now using them correctly, and your back will become used to being in the correct position. So much so that when you have used a Nada for a few days/weeks and then sit without it, if you revert to your old slouching position you will realise very quickly that your back does NOT like it! Hopefully you will then do something about it, such as sit up properly? If your back has not yet gained enough strength for you to sustain correct sitting posture, go and get your NADA!

Should you experience any pain or discomfort when you put on your Nada, we recommend that you go and see your doctor or a registered back-pain specialist as the pain is unlikely to be caused by the Nada itself, and this suggests you may have an existing spinal "problem". If you know that you already have an existing spinal "problem", we recommend that you do not use this product without first consulting with your "back specialist".
